Brechin Infirmary
IN 1878, Brechin Parochial Board erected
a parish almshouse/poorhouse on
Infirmary Street, replacing an earlier one
on City Road. It was locally known as the
"puirs' hoose" or the "grubber" and was
originally intended to accommodate 100
inmates who included the "respectable
poor" who included some disable, a few
orphans, and the "feeble-minded".
Locally remembered characters included
"Daft Jimmy" and "Ecky Serafina" with
their stick barrow. Casual vagrants were
also accommodated in a separate section
of the building. In 1908, the building
accommodated 76 inmates with staff
comprising a Matron and three servants.
